Although for my Bi-polar cousins I am VERY sure Bi-polar types of Depression are equally debilitating.
· Do you have persistent and ruminating thoughts of past and future, yet an odd inability to focus on the NOW?
· Any powerful feelings of impending doom, but in your rational mind you very well know nothing from an external negative standpoint has even occurred?
· Any over thinking to the point where it's so bad your mind can not hold a productive thought in your head?
· I should also mention difficulty remembering things to a degree that is far beyond just a slip of the mind?
· Are you experiencing any feeling as if your arms, legs, and head feel oddly heavy? often times to the point where it really feels in a physical sense that someone bolted 50 pound weights to your body. (That might be less common, but I get that when it's really bad.)
· Another weird one... (less common, but one I know all too well.) Any times when your perception of sight and vision seems oddly skewed? I mean sort of like your vision is fine, but in a weird way your sight feels way off kilter? I would get this so bad sometimes that even when walking on a perfectly flat surface it sort of felt like the floor was slanted when I know damn well it is perfectly level.
· Do you have persistent bouts where it actually feels like your brain is vomiting? It's not like a purely physical pain, but rather a mental pain so severe that your brain really feels like it is vomiting.
Those above things would mean that your Depression and Anxiety are so severe that they are actually effecting your Psychomotor function. If you're not experiencing the above then just thank God you're not and get help for the more minor aspects of your Depression.
Sorry to be so descriptive, but if not then the "level of" or even if what your experiencing is Clinical Depression would be hard to know.

a day ago my feelings of emptiness were much worse than today.
but now i feel really hyper or something.
headaches, but not really a headache,
but more an anxiety headache, sort of dizzy.
and yeah, sort of like your head explodes or something. i say it alot of times "HELP, MY HEAD EXPLODES" while actually it feels like im a steam train and steam comes out of my ears.
everything feels heavy indeed, and i had this before im just afraid it gets worse. im trying to calm myself down tho, yesterday it was really heavy. i was thinking "WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM"
and i came with the most stupid conclusions in my head and they went on and on and on. and a chest pain that gets worse time to time. yesterday i suddenly walked really fast because i "NEEDED" to be happy and awesome and somehow forced myself to.
last thing, everytime i see something i think like "MAYBE I DID THAT TOO, I DON'T WANT TO SEEM LIKE THAT" and it's really tiring.
i was diagnosed with depression yes, but i didn't have depression my whole life i know. but now is a different story.
i don't want to do anything because everything feels useless for me.
idk what it is, i hope i explained it well. does this sound familiar to you?
